Dinner Preparation Tips
I f you seem always on the go but still value making homemade weeknight meals, these dinner preparation tips will be a huge help. Plan – As with most things, planning is the most important step.
Some people seem to have it all together and plan their menus a month at a time. If that’s too much effort for you, try planning your weekly menu and referring to it to write and organise your grocery list as you’re thinking up meal ideas—reserve slow-cooker recipes for easy and delicious casseroles, roasts, stews, and soups for busy nights.
PREP – Once you get home from your grocery shopping excursion, defrost meats, if necessary, then cut, marinate, and precook them for use throughout the week. The same goes for your veggies and starches. At this stage, you can also season, slice, and dice your vegetables. And why not go ahead and prepare your rice, pasta, and potatoes?
After you’re done with this stage of the prep process, organise your ingredients for easy access when you’re ready to whip up each meal. Try stacking storage containers or bags of pre-portioned meats, vegetables, and spices for each meal together. For example, if you listed kebabs on your menu, put your steak, peppers, onions, and mushrooms — or whatever you like — on skewers, then douse them with marinade and store them in a shallow, covered container.
BUY PRECOOKED – One way to maximise your time without compromising the home-cooked taste of your dinners is to buy precooked ingredients. Don’t have time to roast a whole chicken? Grab a rotisseriebaked chicken from the deli. When your recipes call for chicken, slice off as much ready-to-eat chicken as you need and integrate it into your dish.
Rally the Troops— Now that you’ve checked your food items, here are a few ways to make dinner preparation a family affair. Call in the kids and your partner and decide who will be responsible for what. Even the least culinarily inclined family members can help set the table or take items off the stovetop or out of the oven when the buzzer sounds.
CLEANUP – First, you’ve probably heard this or said it a million times: Clean up as you go. Have a bowl handy to hold food scraps — this can reduce trips to the garbage can or disposal. Wipe countertops and wash cookware and utensils as soon as you’ve finished with them. You may even want to consider investing in multipurpose cookware, the kind you can use to prep, cook and store food. This way, you can place your pot of leftovers in the refrigerator, then reheat it using your stove or microwave without the fuss of using and washing more prep bowls and pans.
How to Achieve a Sophisticated and Classy Look on the Beach
A day at the beach is all about fun in the sun, but that doesn’t mean you can’t do it in style. Achieving a sophisticated and classy look on the beach is easier than you might think. Whether you’re lounging by the waves, walking along the shoreline, or attending a chic seaside gathering, the right outfit and accessories can help you exude timeless elegance while still being comfortable. This article explores tips and tricks to help you look polished and refined during your beach outing, ensuring you turn heads for all the right reasons.
CHOOSE ELEGANT SWIMWEAR
The foundation of a sophisticated beach look starts with elegant swimwear. Opt for classic cuts and styles that emphasise simplicity and grace. For example, a one-piece swimsuit with a deep yet tasteful neckline or a well-fitted highwaisted bikini can convey an air of classiness. Neutral colours like black, white, and navy blue are often the most sophisticated options, though subtle prints, such as stripes or floral designs, can also look refined. Pay attention to the fit – well-fitting swimwear is essential for looking polished, so ensure it enhances your body shape without being overly revealing.
ADD A STYLISH COVER-UP
A chic cover-up can make all the difference in elevating your beach look. Kaftans, maxi dresses, and lightweight sarongs are great choices that add a layer of elegawnce without compromising comfort. Opt for a cover-up in a breathable fabric such as cotton, linen, or chiffon to keep you cool while providing an extra touch of style. Choose a colour or pattern that complements your swimwear, creating a cohesive and visually appealing ensemble. For a sophisticated vibe, look for cover-ups that flow gracefully and create a sense of movement as you walk along the beach.
ACCESSORISE THOUGHTFULLY
Accessories are key to achieving a sophisticated beach look. Consider a widebrimmed hat—it’s practical for protecting your face from the sun and adds a glamorous touch reminiscent of old Hollywood stars. Sunglasses are another must-have; opt for classic aviators or cat-eye frames for an effortlessly chic vibe. Minimalist jewellery, such as delicate gold or silver necklaces and small hoop earrings, can provide a hint of sparkle without being overbearing. Don’t forget a stylish beach tote to complete the look—woven bags for your elegant sandfree beach towels are ideal for maintaining an elevated aesthetic while carrying all your beach essentials.
COMFORTABLE YET CHIC FOOTWEAR
The right footwear can make or break your beach outfit. Instead of flip-flops, which are often too casual, choose stylish, comfortable and classy sandals. Leather sandals, espadrilles, or gladiatorstyle sandals are excellent for creating an upscale look. Ensure your footwear complements the rest of your outfit—neutral shades like beige, tan, and gold are versatile options with most beachwear. Wedge sandals can also be a stylish addition if you’re planning to attend a seaside event where a little extra height is desirable. Prioritise comfort, as nothing ruins a sophisticated look faster than wincing with every step in uncomfortable shoes.
FINISH WITH POLISHED HAIR AND MAKEUP
Your hairstyle and makeup can significantly enhance your beach ensemble. Opt for an effortless yet polished hairstyle, such as loose beachy waves or a low bun. If you want to keep your hair out of your face, a sleek ponytail or a wide headband can do the trick while adding a touch of elegance. When it comes to makeup, keep it natural and light. A tinted moisturiser with SPF, a touch of bronzer, and a swipe of waterproof mascara can give you a fresh and radiant look without appearing overdone. A hint of tinted lip balm will provide just the right amount of colour while keeping your lips hydrated. Remember, the goal is to look effortlessly beautiful, as if you just stepped out of a magazine spread.
Looking sophisticated and classy on the beach is about selecting timeless pieces and thoughtful accessories and creating a polished yet effortless appearance. By choosing elegant swimwear, complementing it with a chic cover-up, and adding the right accessories, you can elevate your beach style from casual to refined. Don’t forget to pay attention to your footwear and finish your look with simple hair and makeup for that extra touch of grace. With these tips in mind, you’ll be ready to hit the beach confidently, exuding a sophisticated charm that turns your beach day into a stylish affair.
8th Annual Ride for Red Raises Over $11,500 for Cancer Research
On Saturday, October 5th, the 8th Annual Ride for Red brought together 82 bikes (some with pillions) and ten cars in a spirited fundraising effort. The event raised an impressive total of $11,532.55, including online donations, all in memory of Red Norman, who bravely battled brain cancer.
The ride kicked off at the Northbound BP Burpengary, where Gary Blake (Blakey) welcomed the riders with a briefing at 8:30 am. After a prompt “stands up” at 9:00 am, the group set off, travelling north, turning off the highway at Roy’s Road, through Beerwah, and down Peachester Range. The first stop was at Yowie Park in Kilcoy, where participants enjoyed vanilla slices—Red’s favourite— and participated in a raffle featuring two $50 cash prizes donated by Sharon Norman and Will Blake.
Following the break at Yowie Park, the group continued to the Dag Pub for lunch, where another raffle took place featuring a bottle of spirits donated by Dag Pub and a 6-pack from Stockyard Tavern Warwick.
The ride then progressed to the Bribie Island Hotel, where the Major Raffle was drawn. The first prize, generously donated by Bribie Island Hotel and Bribie BBQ Boat Hire, and the second prize from Sharon Norman were awarded. A multi-draw raffle with over 20 prizes and an auction of various items took place, providing further excitement for attendees. The day concluded with live entertainment from a local band, ensuring a festive atmosphere.
Organisers expressed deep appreciation for the donations received from various parties. Thanks to Ali King MP, Bribie Island Anglers Club, Mack Trucks from Bulk Granite, Hair by Mel@Salon Ravissant, and Big Dave’s Tippers for their ongoing support.
Andy and Amy from Andy Farrell Auto Prints, who donated a piece of artwork to commemorate the event, shared their gratitude: “We had such a wonderful time and met some awesome people. We felt so proud driving along with the bikes.” They also thanked Gary and Helen for orchestrating such a memorable ride.
The organisers also conveyed heartfelt gratitude to friends and family who assisted in selling tickets, collecting donations, wrapping prizes, and ensuring the event’s success.

Fishing Report – March 8, 2024
The hot and humid summer has continued through into March. The water temperature has been sitting at almost 27 °C, and it’s still quite turbid. Ted reckoned the further north he went up the Passage, the more obvious was the line between fresh and salt – but that was a couple of weeks ago, and there hasn’t been a great deal of heavy rain since. Fishing has been steady in the Passage, with lots of fish being caught, and plenty of them have been keepers. Bream are still to be found everywhere, and there have been some good ones brought in. They’re still showing up in big numbers in the Pacific Harbour canals and still taking freshly-netted baitfish. Isaac used the perennial favourite chicken-breast to catch three big bream. He was anchored north of the Ningi Creek yellow marker and was coming away from the top of the tide when the fishing started to liven up. Warren took out a variety of baits but said that chicken breast was the only meal that the bream went after.
Grunters are also abundant. Everton Park Fishing Club held a Passage competition last weekend, and every boat came away a winner, I reckon. Plenty of bream, some of them very good sizes. Darol was especially happy with his grunter – 41cm and weighing 1kg. Stacey says that a couple of weeks ago, there were lots of baby grunters everywhere up at Lime Pocket – but no biggies. Not long after, on a very windy Sunday, she and Brendan were again anchored up at Lime Pocket for only about 5mins, when she got onto a 36cm grunter, then she caught a 65cm flathead up in Hussey Creek, on a white soft-plastic paddle-tail.
There are lots of reports about snapper being caught. Just outside Pacific Harbour is typically “snapper central”; Craig was off Banksia Beach on a midday high tide when he used whitebait to catch a biggie. Poverty Point has been a good spot for snapper, and Ben caught a lovely fat 45cm one not far from Toorbul on the morning rising tide. He also caught a big cobia in the same area – 87cm! Richard is still getting plenty of snapper from the Ripples and drifting past Kakadu Beach, and he, too, caught a good-sized cobia.
Flatheads have been harder to find. South of the bridge, around Sandstone Point, is the only place I’ve heard of lately where flathead is more consistent. Fishability Qld usually brings home a big flathead from every outing, but there have been fewer keepers on their boats, too. There are plenty of other fish, though, and everyone seems to come home happy.
A couple of reminders to be a little careful if you’re out fishing from a boat – one fellow got into a bit of trouble last weekend when his little tinny was being swamped by a following swell. He was towed into shore, and all was well, but this is a good reminder to make sure your battery is working well and to make sure you take your phone.
Scott also had to come to the rescue of a distressed vessel, off the coast, which made an interesting finish to a big day out. He and his mates had gone out to Barwon Banks, about 60 nm (and several hundred litres!) away. Their haul included a few tusk fish, redthroat emperors and a couple of cobia. They got smashed by some cobias they hooked up, which were just too big to bring on board – “one had the head of a hippo”! Trolling on the way back in, there were two big bust-offs, “probably sailfish”, then they came across the stricken vessel and kept it company until VMR turned up. All fun, out on a fishing trip! Recently, A houseboat had a bit of fun, getting stranded on a sandbank near Poverty Point – overnight! Lying in bed, waiting for the sun to come up, they could hear lots of chatter while their crab pots were being raided – but they couldn’t do anything to stop it. Fortunately, one pot was missed, and there was a big muddy still in that one!

Winelander March 8, 2024
T he other week, a fellow golfer stopped me and had a chat about cleanskins, a subject I don’t think we have covered before, so let’s begin at the beginning and bring the subject up to date. Firstly, cleanskins are, as the name suggests, wines without labels, which strictly speaking are illegal to sell because alcohol should have all the necessary warnings, alcohol levels, number of standard glasses, etc, which can be got around if you buy a carton, for example, and putting a label on the side of the box.
Cleanskins initially started in the 1980s when wineries produced an amount of wine and purchased a number of labels when the labels ran out it was too expensive to do another label run so they sold the unlabelled wine at the cellar door, where it was possible to inform the public what was actually in the bottle and because it had no label was considerably cheaper than the original wine. The winery didn’t try masquerading the wine with another wine to try and fool the public because a regular drinker would soon cotton on, and the reputation of the wine was compromised.
In fact, as a side issue, I remember one winery producing a wine that took the industry by storm, which came as a complete surprise to the winery, and the press around Australia gave it a huge wrap, and eventually, it ran out before the next vintage could be picked. To maintain the product with the demand, the winery bought grapes from around the region and produced a similar, but not the same wine, and came in for huge criticism for trying to capitalise on producing more of the wine using outside sources. It took years to get over this misrepresentation and to be honest forty years later I’m not sure they have.
The action of producing cleanskins became very popular amongst the premium winedrinking public, who would keep an eye out when these bargains became available because liquor outlets didn’t want wine that couldn’t be promoted without labels, so everyone was happy, or were they? In the mid-1990s, an aspiring entrepreneur saw an opportunity to capitalise on this popular way of selling wine and had quantities of ordinary wine produced without labels. and opened a store in Melbourne selling only cleanskin wine, and the public supported the shop in droves, believing they were buying quality barrel ends. Very soon, more of these shops were opening, which forced the government to introduce laws that the public had to be informed of the ingredients that were in the bottles. Around this time, major wineries were trying to wean the public off 4-litre casks, which had a huge following, and this seemed an opportunity to do that: put cask wine in unlabelled bottles, and the return improved markedly.
My golfing colleague was interested in the value of buying cleanskins, and my answer is that buying the wine at the cellar door should be a lot safer quality-wise than buying off the shelf when you really don’t know what you are getting if you are happy to drink cask wine then I doubt whether you would be disappointed however it is unlikely that any wine bought as a cleanskin at the major retailers is much better than bulk wine in a bottle. If you buy cleanskin wines at auction which usually tells which winery produced the wine, it pays to go online, seek out the winery, have a look at reviews for that wine the vintage and then decide whether the final price you have to pay, including seller’s premium and freight is good value, you could be getting a bargain or wasting your money.
Now that the government has increased the prices of beers and spirits with the latest CPI increase, which happens twice yearly, there is the usual call from the manufacturers to up the price of wine to stop the wine industry from benefiting from having cheaper prices, personally, I think if you are a beer drinker or enjoy your Bundy or Highland malt I doubt whether you would jump ship for a Chardonnay or Cabernet Sauvignon, in fact, it was about twenty years ago that the government did listen to the brewers and to offset the lost wholesale sales tax that was removed when the GST was introduced they brought in the WET tax on wine which is short for Wine Equalisation Tax, this has kept the Brewers and Spirit producers quiet until now however the storm clouds are once again gathering, the WET tax actually adds 41% onto the price of your wine purchase which I think is more than enough
By the time this column goes to press, we probably will have had our next degustation night on Leap Year’s Eve at the Bribie Golf Club and I get the impression we may do a few more through the year if you have the input to opening the club web site you can scroll down to the bottom of the degustation article and click on booking and follow the instructions.
Cheers,

Kiani Smith: Proudly supported by Vernazza ristorante
Kiani Smith as most of you would know, is our own local shining star! Seventeen-year-old Kiani, who hails from Bribie Island, was accepted into the audition round of Australian Idol after applying last year. Kiani who goes by the stage name Kiani Jazz, has been singing and learning to play the guitar since she was seven years old, with her father as her teacher. Music, for her, has always been a medium of self-expression and a source of joy.
Over time, Kiani’s singing talent gained popularity locally, eventually leading her to audition for one of the biggest stages – Australian Idol. With her angelic voice, Kiani sang “2002” by Anne Marie in her unique style, winning the judges’ hearts and leaving everyone in awe. It’s safe to say that she did more than justice to the song, securing herself a place in the top 30. That was only the beginning, Kiana, who is the youngest of the group then made to the top 12 and at the time of print she is a firm favourite making the top ten round.
When asked what advice she would give to young performers in the Moreton Bay area, Kiani emphasized the importance of not letting anything come in the way of their dreams. She encouraged aspiring musicians to pursue their passion wholeheartedly and enjoy every moment of it. As a musician, Kiani’s goal is to take her music mainstream and showcase her talent to a broader audience. Her parents have been her pillars of strength and support throughout her musical journey. With several years of experience playing the guitar, ukulele, piano, and drums, she hopes to make a mark in the music industry.
A message from Kiani:
“I really want to thank all of Bribie Island and the Bribie islander magazine for getting behind me; I’m overwhelmed with the love, messages, and especially the support I have received from all of you. Thank you so much for all your votes and for making it possible for me to now be in the Top 10 of Australian Idol.”
Horses Helping Humans Horses Helping Humans
Herd Together Inc is a registered charity based in Bellmere, Our core program “ Horses Helping Humans™ helps us to learn effective communication and body language skills. Specifically, the program teaches participants the basics of natural horsemanship ground skills, (no riding involved) which is based on mutual respect and trust between horse and handler.
Through our programs, we aim to foster trust and establish stronger emotional connections between participant’s and their support systems. By utilising the immediate and non-threatening feedback provided by the horses, we teach emotional regulation and respectful communication skills. This approach empowers participants to build selfconfidence, develop social awareness, and re-engage with their education,
workforce, community, and family.
Many young people who have experienced trauma struggle with negative selfthoughts, which can lead to communication difficulties, challenging behaviour, low self-esteem, and a feeling of hopelessness. Often, these youth are hesitant to engage with social systems such as school, work, and family.
Participants are introduced to techniques on how to focus, turn anger or anxiety calm assertiveness, and offer practical ways to apply effective communication which is easily transferable to interpersonal (human to human) communication, each session gives valuable take-home skills to use in everyday communication.
Based in Bellmere set on 8 acres we have a team of 6 horses and ponies of various sizes, here to assist you. We work with many services including NDIS, child safety, youth justice, women&’s organisations, and families.
We welcome volunteers who are experienced horse handlers or retirees looking to assist with maintenance on property or fundraising.
IS BEER REALLY GOOD FOR YOUR HAIR?
SHOULD YOU DRINK THE BEER OR SHAMPOO WITH IT — OR BOTH?
Beer: You can bathe in it, fertilise grass, and cook with it. But have you ever doused your hair with it? (We mean on purpose, not the accidental, “Hey, I’m doing a ‘keg stand’ and my hair got in the way” kind.) Turns out beer just might be good for your hair, too.
Beer’s most basic ingredients — malt and hops — are full of protein that can strengthen hair cuticles. The cuticle is a layer of dead cells wrapped in a shingle-like fashion around the outermost part of the hair shaft. When the cuticle is damaged, these cells are raised and rough.
If you apply the proteins found in beer to your hair, the cuticles begin to realign themselves orderly. Essentially, the proteins repair damage to your hair caused by all the other things you may do to make it look good: blow-drying, straightening, curling and colouring.
The beer benefits don’t end with stronger locks; it can make your hair shinier, too. As the proteins bind with hair cuticles, the newly smoothed surface will better reflect light. This means your hair will become shinier. The alcohol in beer also adds shine, thanks to B vitamins and natural sugars, although some experts caution the alcohol will cause dry hair if you use it too often. Critics also claim there’s no evidence that beer is a wonder-rinse; it won’t make hair grow and can leave behind a “just left the frat party” smell.
To use beer as a hair rinse, mix it at room temperature (about a quarter of a cup or 59 millilitres) with equal water and add two tablespoons of apple cider vinegar to cut the beer smell. After using shampoo and conditioner, saturate hair with the beer rinse and let it soak for a few minutes before rinsing. While too drying to use every day, a once- or twice-monthly beer rinse will work as well as a pricey clarifying shampoo, removing buildup from hair products.
For a leave-in conditioner, transfer the mixture to a spray bottle, spritz and go. As the proteins in beer bind to the hair shaft, something fabulous will happen, volume. For people with fine, thin hair, a solution that delivers volume is the Holy Grail of hair products.
Unfortunately, the volume boost beer offers your tresses will only last as long as the beer remains bound to hair follicles. Wash it out, and the benefit goes down the drain, too. Re-applying a leave-in beer treatment when you wash your hair will make it feel like a more long-lasting benefit.
You also can turn your next beer into a shampoo. Reduce a cup (236 millilitres) of beer over medium heat until there’s only one-quarter cup left (you’ll have boiled off the alcohol). After the beer reduction cools, mix it with a cup of shampoo, rebottle it and wash as usual.
HOMEMADE HAIR AIDS
- New hair-care products excite everyone, but you can save money and get good results from these homemade products. Give them a try:
- Repair damaged hair by treating it with oil and egg yolk—massage olive oil into the hair. Then beat the yolk of 1 egg and massage it into hair, working from the ends up. Leave on for 10 minutes, then shampoo as usual. Do this once a week for a month, and your hair should begin to feel healthier.
- Condition your hair by applying mayonnaise before shampooing. Apply to dry hair and let sit for 1/2 hour, then rinse and shampoo as usual.
- For a lemon rinse, blend 1/2 cup of strained lemon juice and 1 cup of distilled water in a bottle. Comb the liquid through your hair after each shampoo.
- Rub baby powder into your hair and then brush it out thoroughly for a quick, dry shampoo.
Whether you have an artificial hair colour that needs refreshing or you want to enhance your own shade naturally, customised herbal rinses add highlights or depth and are gentle on your budget. If you want to experiment with customising herbal rinses, there’s no real risk because their effect is subtle. However, avoid acidic fruits and vegetable colours. Do not use lemons or beet juice, for example. These are very unpredictable over time and are greatly affected by sun exposure. Lemon juice and the sun might make you blonder the first time you try it, but after several treatments, your hair colour will look like the rings of a tree trunk — in several shades.
